Getting a nannying job with great pay and a lovely family can seem nearly impossible, as many nannying jobs offer difficult children, bad pay, and subpar living conditions.

If you find one that fits your needs, you should immediately take it.

Well, that’s exactly what five nannies recently did — before subsequently quitting.

But why would they quit if the position had exactly what they wanted? Well, it also had something else: ghosts.

That’s right, the last five nannies this family had hired all quit because of supernatural incidents. Nannies have a lot of responsibilities — like this nanny who saved children’s lives — but handling ghosts typically isn’t among those tasks.

The job itself may have been great, but the nannies were not on board with the supernatural. Now, the family is looking for another nanny — and this time, they’re making it clear that people who apply should be OK with ghosts.

Want to know more about the position? Read the job listing below to find out exactly what this job entails — in addition to supernatural occurrences.

We have 2 children ages 5 and 7, and live in a lovely, spacious, historic property with spectacular views.

Duties would include preparing breakfast, getting the children ready for school, dropping off and picking up from school and assisting after school, including helping with homework and getting them ready for bed.

My husband and I are both very busy professionals who are often required to work away, and there are occasions, up to 4 nights per week (weekdays only) when we will both be away and you will be at the property alone in sole charge.

We haven’t personally experienced any supernatural happenings, as they have been reported only while we’ve been out of the house, but we’re happy to pay above the asking rate, and feel it’s important to be as up-front as possible to find the right person.
